Degree Plan Help

I am thoroughly confused by trying to plan this out.  Looking for some help from those that have done this before.  I am going to attempt either the BLSM or BABA -Management.  Here is what I have completed:

Business Law
Developing Effective Teams
Intoduction to Business
Pinciples of Finance
Project Management
Introduction to Information Technology
Introduction to Relational Databases
Intoduction to Web Development
Communication at Work
Conflict Resolution

College Algebra
Introduction to Statistics
Enviromental Science

Macroeconomics
Microeconomics
Taking Charge of Your Economic Future
US History I
US History II

1 Credit

CLEP

I know I still need to do Spanish from InstaCert and Biology from Study.  What else do I need to do at Sophia before doing these two and transferring/enrolling.

Thanks for any help.

Your Location: Rochester, MN
Your Age: 50
What kind of degree do you want?: Quick, cheap, and easy as possible.  I have advanced as far as I can go in my current work area without a degree, I work for the big medical instution here in town. Currently looking at BLSM or BABA.  I work in IT so I do have my A+ Certification.
Current Regional Accredited Credits: I might have one credit from Rochester Community and Technical College but that was 15 years ago and I have no idea if the class counted or not.  For the sake of discussion lets assume its a no.

You really need to select a degree. The BLS has different requirements than the BABA. Also which BLS minor? Looks like you're missing Intro to Sociology or Approaches to Studying Religions which is needed for 5A of the GEC. You need 40 credits for the GEC as well. Intro to Psychology is another good one to have. It's a GEC course and can be used for the general electives. There are quite a few general electives for the BLS. Almost half need to be UL and most of those need to be taken at UMPI. You need a foreign language a lab science for the GEC. You've taken several classes that won't be usable in the BABA. All of these probably won't be useable in the BLS either because of the UL requirement. Business Law is the only one which will transfer as UL. I'd have all of my ACE courses completed so I could focus on my UMPI classes as they will take time because they're mostly papers. The next session isn't until May so you've got time to get courses completed to transfer.

I know I need to do Spanish at InstaCert and Biology at Study.com, I was hoping to transfer in 90 credits.

At this time, I would apply/submit everything to UMPI and while waiting, decide on the degree. You can add a minor if you needed and you can ask for permission to transfer in another course to get as close to 90 credits as possible for transfer. Get the degree evaluation so you know where you stand...

Part of the application includes selecting your degree which includes the minor for the BLS. A degree audit will not be done until after the student has applied and transcripts processed which takes a few weeks. The degree audit comes from the academic advisor when you have your meeting with them to make out your class schedule.
